Associations of fetuin-A and osteoprotegerin with arterial stiffness and early atherosclerosis in chronic hemodialysis patients.

In diabetic patients (n=17, 21%) the correlations of cfPWV with both fetuin-A and OPG did not reach statistical significance (p=0.173 and p=0.177 respectively) (Figure 2 a and 2 b), while in non-diabetic patients (n=64, 79%) the above correlations were highly significant (p=0.007 and p<0.001 respectively) (Figure 2 c and 2 d).
